Games have us do a lot of awesome poo poo. We fight horrible monsters, save worlds and solve mysteries, which is great and all, but it doesn't make for interesting anecdotes - after all, every Mario player stomps on a goomba. This thread is for telling how you decided to cut loose, make your own fun, and just do something in a game that's uniquely you. I made Captain Planet in Saints Row the Third.

Persona, probably 3. It's a game where you make friends with people so that you can gain the ability to shoot yourself in the head and summon, among other things, Satan.

I remember some time ago, when it came out, a friend and myself were doing the final mission of Halo 3 co-op. Now in the final mission (spoiled in case someone hasn't played it) it is essentially repeating the end of the 1st game, with a Warthog race. He and I were playing it as a race (as everyone should), trying to knock each other off the edge, etc. etc. We got to the final part, where you have to ramp off into a ship to make your escape, and we were neck-and-neck, trying to gain enough speed and cause each other to crash at the same time. We both drove off the ramp, but my friend's hog was better positioned - mine started to flip, which obviously knocked me out of the driver's seat and I started to fall to my death. Instinctively, I started pressing the 'get back into the vehicle' button to stop dying, whereupon my character while falling in mid-air, grabbed onto my friends hog and slipped into the gunner seat. It was so stupidly action movie-esque. Shame we didn't record it.

Samovar posted:Halo 3 That's awesome. I didn't know you'd get 2 Hogs if you went co-op. My friend has one of the best tales of MMORPG revenge I've ever heard, so I've got to share, even though it wasn't me doing it. Over a decade ago, my friends and I were deep into Ultima Online. We had traded and maneuvered our way into owning 3 adjacent Small Towers in a clearing in the woods.  x 3My friend Kris then came up with the idea to collapse them all, and go in together on a bigger house - a Large Marble House.  While I was less-active in the game, Kris came up with a pretty nasty plan to scam people out of a lot of money. He would offer to sell people the house for about 500k gold. He would ask them to meet him on the patio to work out the deal. The buyer would come with a check for the money, and Kris would bring the "deed". In UO though, for whatever reason, the graphic for "House Deed" was exactly the same as the graphic for "Blank Scroll". Kris would open the trading window, and offer the blank scroll, which unobservant players paid 500k gold for. If the buyer caught on to the scheme, an accomplice would block off the patio by placing a chest, and they would kill the buyer. It was a lovely thing to do in retrospect, but it was amazing how often it worked. It all worked well for Kris, until he tried the con on a guild of players who actually made good on the threat of "My friend is a GM". A GM reversed the transaction, and awarded the house to that guild. We had lost the house that we had all gone in on together. Kris isn't a guy to give up easily, however, and so he started on a very circuitous plan to recover the house. He made a brand new character, and leveled it up to max stats very quickly. He then bided his time, waiting in places he knew he would find guild members and started to introduce himself to its members. Over the course of a few weeks, he made friends with them, and gained access to the guild. All told, I think he kept up the charade for about 2 months. Eventually, the time came to act. While a few of them were hanging out in the marble house that used to be his, he started pacing slowly around the lot. After a while, he said to the leader, "Hey, I checked a couple of times, and we could fit a Keep here." - a Keep being the next-biggest house, and the 2nd or 3rd largest available:  The guild came to agree with Kris' thinking and prepared to collapse the marble house to place the Keep. They got the guild all together to collect the goods in the house that would be exposed once the house was taken down. The guild leader clicked to collapse the marble house. After a scramble to pick up all the belongings, the leader says, "I'm having trouble dropping the keep, it won't let me place it." He hadn't checked himself, so he wasn't aware that, though there WAS a space big enough for a keep, a single rock near the edge prohibited placement of a Keep, or anything larger. In just a moment later, a Large Marble House appeared where the old one had been. Kris walked into his new property, logged out, and logged back in as his main character. I can't recall what he said in the moment, but it was along the lines of "Thanks, suckers", I'm sure. There was a lot of outrage, but this time, no GMs came to reverse what had happened. And that's my favorite gaming story.

I have found all the Elder Scrolls games to be rather bland, the exception being Skyrim. This was because instaed of wandering aimlessly, I had a goal. That goal was to obtain every last bottle of alcohol in the world. Be it through purchase or theft, any alcohol that I came across would be mine. Whenever I'd visit a Jarl their dining table's wine would be gone within minutes. If I happened upon a hotel or rested there I would go behind the counter and take every last drink they had. This usually took awhile for I had to avoid being caught, but it was always satisfying. I hardly ever drank them, either. Last time I checked I had over 200 bottles of wine alone. Seeing as that weighed me down quite a bit, I often avoided picking up weapons and armor so I didn't have to part with any of my precious alcohol. There were only two occassions where I would drink them. One involved my dragon slaying routine, which was charging the dragon head on, hacking and slashing till my stamina went down, and then restoring my stamina by instantly swigging down five to six bottles. I would repeat this process till the dragon was dead. Other than that, I just drank if I had to make room for more drinks. I had some rare beverages that I never consumed, but I don't remember what they were called. And that's my story of roleplaying as a kleptomaniac who compulsively stole alcohol exclusively.

Me and a friend would fly to the top of skyscrapers in GTA IV and then spawn speed boats balanced right on the edge of the building and climb in and drop a live grenade to give us a nudge and then ride boats down out of the sky on people.

In the PC version of Jungle Strike, I always used to activate the cheat mode allowing your helicopter to go x2 or x3 faster than usual and spend the level screaming around the map, just narrowly avoiding all enemy fire/missiles while humming the Airwolf theme music and making the sound effects when it used to go into "turbo" mode. The original theme tune was great - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY5ogQ-kZrY

I jumped over an entire military base in a speedboat in Just Cause 2. There are no ramps that directly say you can do that, so you have to improvise. I used the entry and exit ramps for boats in these bases as my ramps. Landed in the water and kept going.

I spent levels 5 - 30ish in fallout new Vegas just killing legionnaires, kitting myself out in crazy shiny armour and being a crusader for pseudo democracy. Quests? Fuckem. The absolute and complete climax of that game for me was hunting down caesar and killing every drat slaving bastard in the camp. Then I started a new character. Where I killed everyone who wasn't the legion. What a glorious range of options.

In Doom (and then Doom 2), when I felt like just messing around, I used to turn on the noclip and godmode cheats, then run into rooms full of enemies, run around/through them so they would shoot each other, then go hide in a wall and watch them all slaughter each other. Good times. I also spent 6 years of my life making a single-player campaign for Warcraft III, the end result being something I'm rather proud of. Here's the intro cinematic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUHePZCExwY

A couple of friends of mine and I like to get together and play Halo: Reach in the Forge mode. We decided, one day, to build a Sumo style arena using the Warthogs, made simply out of five platforms slapped together in a cross formation. When we went to add our vehicles though, I decided it would be fun to repeatedly slam my Warthog into the ground at high speeds using the editor bot. My group of friends joined in and we spent the next half hour crashing our cars into each other like we were five years old. At least we didn't have to add our own sound effects. Since then, I'm convinced that we will never grow up.

Forge mode is perfect for crap like this. One friend had been making a map on and off for a while and invited a few of us to take a look at it. So we spent some time running around the map checking it out and critiquing it and so on. Eventually we get a bit bored and start spawning guns and vehicles for ourselves to blow each other up with. Eventually this leads to 4 or 5 editor bots whizzing around the map carrying tanks and big pieces of scenery and trying to crush/collision kill some poor bastard running around the map just trying to escape.

Speaking of arenas, this same group of friends also built a fairly organized fight club in Halo 3's Sandbox. Throw two dudes in a ring of obelisks with energy swords while the referee watches. Made for some pretty fun times.

I've weaponised minecarts full of lead goblets in Dwarf Fortress. Too bad they're so finicky to get working right because making things go flying at goblins and horribly maim, if not outright kill them, is great fun. Making lavafalls is pretty fun too but arguably much more mundane than a minecart shotgun.

This reminds me of when my friends had built an awesome fort in Forge and invited to look at it. "Fort Awesome Mk. II" it was called, and it lived up to the name. Of course, I didn't have much to contribute to the fort and quickly got bored of watching them edit it, so I spawned a scenery piece: a huge rock. Originally it was just in the middle point of the base, but then I took glee in smashing vehicles with it and placing it at a Falcon spawn. This caused the spawning vehicles to instantly exploded and scatter debris about the area. This whole thread could be filled with Forge stories.

In the original Half-Life, as many of you probably know, placing your character in proximity to a fellow scientist will often cause them to voice any number of scripted lines. Once, in the level Office Complex -- after all hell has broken loose -- I was in a hallway that culminated in an open elevator shaft. Obviously, it was out of order, and the elevator car was stalled several floors up... a harried scientist dangling from it, begging for rescue. I stood at the opening of the shaft. "Can't... hold... on... AWWWWWGH!!" The scientist fell, and as he sailed past me, he calmly said, "Have you seen my coffee cup?" No sooner did he get the sentence out than he splattered into gibs at the bottom of the shaft.
